System of a Down teases ‘drastic’ setlist changes for 2025 stadium tour

System of a Down intends to “dramatically” alter their set selections for their 2025 stadium performances. Bassist Shavo Odadjian told this in an interview with SNSMix.com.

Fans can look forward to a lot of music [and] a lot of passion” at the shows, “because it’s a long time coming. We have more shows this year with System than we’ve had in the last seven years combined, so [fans] can expect this energy that is unmatched. We’ll probably change the set up drastically between each one so if you come to both shows you’ll hear different songs. We’re going to play two-hour sets. We’ll go through the catalog. We’ve got 70-plus songs, but we’ll do 30 of them — maybe 27 to 30 songs — and we’ll mix and match. We’re going to rehearse a lot so we can know a lot and then we can switch songs up between sets all the time, not play the same thing over and over. I’ve always wanted to do more shows. I’m the guy in the band that you tell me to play, I’ll play. Because I just I love [it]. I was born to do that… When I get up there, I feel so at home that I’ve never been nervous onstage. I’ve never had the butterflies that people talk about. I don’t have [that]. I walk up it’s like, ‘Whoa, okay. I’m home.’
